To Bounty and All in this Thread. There's also Another Important Consideration. Which Gives an Advantage to Having X Amount of Smaller Bills, -as Oppossed to Larger Ones.

And that is, -Where Paper Money is Paper like Any Other!, -and Suffering the Same Statistical Chance of Being Lost, Accidentally Burned, Etc!, -Then Which of the Two would you Rather Lose?!, -a 50 or a 100!?, -Or a One or 5ive?! Which "Slip of Paper" would you Rather Such Accidentally Happen to?!

That said, -I Agree with some Other Good Points, for Having some Larger Bills with you too! Including the Value of a 100 that T.G. and Nomad have mentioned!

But When it Comes to "What Could Happen to Paper!", -I and Anyone would of course Rather Lose a One or a Five, -Than a 50 or a Hundred!

Also, -Say Survivor A Has $100 in a $100 Bill. And Survivor B Has the Same $100 Total, but in either 10 Tens or 20 Fives. Both Survivors say Have 200 Pieces of Paper Individually, All Told. (This and Other Paper Money, Cards, Etc Etc). So They Each Stand the Same Statistical Chance, -of Losing One of their 200 Pieces of Paper.

Now Say They Each so Lose One Piece of Paper. It Just Happens to Be Survivor A's $100 Bill in the One Case! And One of Survivor B's Fives or Tens!, in the Other! Do you See How Smaller Bills Have the Advantage!?, -When it Comes to the Law of Averages?!

Also, of course and As Mentioned, -Divvy your Total Up among Several Locations!

Including an Area of Small Bills to Give a Thief if you Must! In the Reasonable Hope that He or She may Think that's All you Have!

And some Coins too! As also Mentioned in our Thread.

Coins also Have the Additional Advantage of Being Fireproof! And "Windproof", -in that they Won't be Blown Away!

They however, -have the Disadvantages of Weight, "Rollability", and Much Greater "Sinkability" (Off the Boat, Into a Lake, Etc!)!, -than Paper Money! (A Clear Lake's Bad Enuff! Let Alone a Cloudy, Muddy Etc One! To say Nothing of Sinking Into Muddy Bottoms!). And at least Bills Have some Substantial Tendancy to Float! At Least for a While Anyway. And are More Visible! This is More Advantageous for Seeing, and perhaps Retrieving, -your Loss!

And Coins are also More Likely to Get Lost Down those Damm Sidewalk Grates!, -Partly from their being Smaller. But Paper Money, ID and Credit Cards, Keys, Other Important Papers, -and Many Important or Special Things Else!, -Can Very Easily Get Lost Down Those Dong Things! Too! Be Aware! And Act Accordingly Around Them!

I'm of the Typical Total Mixes, -Given in Many Places thruout this Thread. Though Within Such, -I might Tend to Shift a Little More to the Smaller Bills, -for the Reason(s) I've said. [color:"black"] [/color] [email]bountyhunter[/email]
